They then put it in an acid bath, then bake it for awhile to try and get all the glue residue out and then was able to powder coat paint it. Partzilla.com still has the OEM chrome available and I bought one to change the look at times. Also Iam going to have the maroon cover redone to a matching white and found a couple pieces to change out the center emblem with again for variety.To Trall, nice job on customizing that bike. Really like the air breather cover. Is it the original painted? There's just so many ways to customize a drifter. I would say they are one of the coolest bikes on the road!

Looks perfect!

- May 23, 2016, 08:29:48 AMSuper sharp. Ted shifter's are iconic. The Drifter itself is #1 for style and retro design and my #2 is Ted's shifter's, old school looks and way way cool factor on the bike, my #3 is the 1500 solo seat rail and #4 1500 cargo rack. IMO if you own a Drifter your bike is not at the next level without the hand shifter. Just driving makes it more fun.
Those shifter Drifter knobs are perfect and high quality. There's a a real cool silver Indian head, that you can get on Ebay from time to time and are cool to change up now and then. It's all metal and can use a basic tap and die set to make the same thread size needed in two minutes. That and 100 more knobs to suite your taste.
Here's mine

Here's some pix of the bracket that came with the kit and my modification.
Other than that it is fine.

- May 18, 2016, 07:56:33 AMI was thinking about ordering one some time ago but I didn't want it to block the Zambini Indian tank emblem.
Your pics clearly show it won't ... I just might reconsider!
Thanks for this thread!
